About blnd performance
At BLND, we distinguish ourselves through a multifaceted approach that combines diverse expertise, athlete-centered care, and a commitment to holistic development, both within and beyond the traditional sporting context.
Diversity of Expertise and Experience
Our strength lies in the wide range of skills, expertise, experience, and backgrounds represented within our team. This diversity allows us to approach challenges from multiple perspectives, leading to more comprehensive and effective solutions. Our Certified Mental Performance Consultants (CMPCs) are not just theoretical experts; many are former collegiate athletes from various sports and at different competitive levels, bringing firsthand understanding of the demands and nuances of athletic performance.
Athlete-Centered Approach
We believe in a truly athlete-centered model, where the individual's needs are paramount. This extends beyond working solely with the athlete to include collaborative engagement with parents, coaches, and teams. By fostering open communication and a shared understanding of goals, we create a supportive ecosystem conducive to growth and success
Specialized Expertise in Movement and Health Sciences
BLND's core competency is underpinned by specific expertise in movement and health sciences. Our deep understanding in areas such as:
Exercise Physiology: Understanding how the body responds and adapts to physical activity, optimizing training for peak performance.
Motor Behavior: Analyzing the cognitive and behavioral aspects of motor skill acquisition and performance, enhancing learning and execution.
Biomechanics: Applying principles of mechanics to human movement, identifying efficiencies and areas for improvement to reduce injury risk and enhance performance.
This specialized knowledge allows us to integrate the physical and mental aspects of performance seamlessly, to actually apply the mind/body connection.
Individually Catered Workshops
Recognizing that every team, coach, and parent group has unique needs, we offer individually catered workshops. These are designed to address specific challenges, impart valuable mental skills, and foster a more robust support system for athletes.
In-Sport Contextualization
A key differentiator is our ability to meet clients directly within their sport context. This means we can observe and provide guidance during training sessions and even competition, offering immediate, relevant feedback and support in the environment where performance truly matters.

These sessions can take place at the office, golf course, ice rink, pool deck, soccer field or other locations that facilitate the psychological strengthening process. We are committed to being available to our clients 7 days a week, providing support via email, text, and brief calls. This "full access" model ensures that our clients receive timely guidance and reinforcement when they need it most, fostering consistent progress and skill-building.
